That’s a good way to see it, Jean. Easy to measure.

My dream job:
1 pays enough to settle all obligations & leaves some for taxes & a retirement plan
2 has pleasant people to work with
3 leaves time for family & friends and for smelling the roses
4 carries some prestige
5 makes a difference in the company & the community.

If the dream job has stress within in tolerable / manageable limits, then I will have achieved a Work – Life balance.
